What a PITAZZZZZ !!!!

If I had cut my fingernails the day before I would STILL be under my truck trying to screw it in. Here are some helpfull things to know though if you find yourself in the same situation ...

1. To remove the factory sensor, you'll need a 1 1/4"deep socket, however the new sensor from MOPAR uses a 1 1/8" socket to install it.

2. I removed the sensor from above, however I managed to get the new one threaded with the help of my fingernail from below. Once threaded in, I finished the job from above.

The sensor sits right over the starter, so if you are trying to do the job from below you'll be doing it blind as directly below the started is the front diff. Whata PITA !!



After finally finishing up that job, Iattamped to start the cam sensor install. It acts funky every once in a blue moon so I gota new one. It didn't look too bad as I could at least see it with the help of a mirror. About 1 1/2 hours later and I STILL couldn't evenget an allen wrench on the bolt to remove the damn thing. I gave up. I'm thinking that maybe I'll let a dealer install the thing unless some of you have some tips.

 

You have so little patience, LOL

 

LMAO !!!

How many hours does the MOPAR book say that it takes for one of their techs to install a cam sensor?

 

well how does it work? No more card over the gauge?

 

It works great !!

I was a little panicky at first because when I first fired up the truck, the gauge didn't budge, but after 30 seconds or so it popped up and seems to be working fine now. I guess it just had to fill with oil or something. I've now removed the paper that covered my Check Gauges light ( which also covered my Wait to Start light [:@])and now it's like driving a brand new truck again !!

 

Well if you couldn't find the hole to put it in to then maybe you should of put some hair around it to help make it easier for you to find [sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=icon_stickpoke.gif] [sm=smarty.gif]

 

18 minutes on the cam sensor and 24 minutes on the oil pressure sensor...

 

 

pfft .... if they can change the cam sensor in 18 minutes I'll gladly pay them to do it. I couldn't even get the allen wrench on the bolt inan hour. I even removed the air intake and tube as well to give me some more room and still no go.[:@]

 

Well thats warranty time, expect to pay at least 1 hour customer pay for either.....
